City of London Festival 2014: Ensemble Sinawi
Ensemble Sinawi combine traditional Korean folk music and pansori, an epic chant, with a contemporary edge to create a sound that it is entirely new. Their exploration of Korea’s musical heritage led them to discover the potential in adapting traditional rhythms and melodies. Authentic Korean sounds are juxtaposed in the context of chamber-jazz to create new and authentically Korean improvisational musical forms – an extraordinary new form of traditional music for the 21st century.
